There is no rest for the weary as fifty-four players who competed in last week's Masters have made the trip to Hilton Head Island, S.C. for the fifth signature event of the year at the RBC Heritage. The field is highlighted by World No. 1 and two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler. Can he make it four wins out of his past five starts before heading home to be with wife Meredith for the birth of the couple's first child? Our golf experts preview the RBC Heritage and provide their favorite prop picks along with best bets to win this week. RBC HERITAGE Location: Hilton Head Island, S.C., April 18-21 Course: Harbour Town Golf Links (Par 71, 7,213 yards) Purse: $20M (Winner: $3.6M) Defending Champion: Matt Fitzpatrick FedEx Cup Leader: Scottie Scheffler HOW TO FOLLOW TV: Thursday-Friday, 2-6 p.m. ET (Golf Channel); Saturday-Sunday, 1-3 p.m. (GC), 3-6 p.m. (CBS) X: @RBC_Heritage Streaming (ESPN+): Thursday-Friday, 7:15 a.m.-6 p.m. ET; Saturday-Sunday, 6:45 a.m.-6 p.m. PROP PICKS —Sahith Theegala to Beat Sam Burns (-140 at DraftKings): Burns has a lot on his mind with his wife Caroline Campbell due to give birth to the couple's first child any day. While he tied for 15th here last year, Burns enters having missed his past two cuts and failing to break the top 30 in his past four starts. Theegala at least made the weekend at the Masters before settling for a T45 and tied for fifth at last year's RBC Heritage. —Brian Harman to Finish Top 20 (+138 at BetMGM): Harbour Town is one of the favorite tour stops for Harman. It was the first tournament get attended as a fan and the first tour event he played in as an amateur. The Georgia native missed the cut at Augusta but tied for seventh here last year. —Nick Taylor Top Canadian (+450): Solid odds for a player who has a win and a pair of other top-20 finishes this season. Yes, he missed the cut at Augusta and yes, Taylor does face formidable competition in this prop that includes Corey Conners (+190), Adam Hadwin (+320), Adam Svensson (+450) and Mackenzie Hughes (+450). But Taylor is also the top-ranked Canadian at No. 27 for his strong body of work. 2024 Prop Picks Record: 20-24-1 BEST BETS —Scottie Scheffler (+400 at BetMGM) has won three of his past four starts and finished tied for second in the other. The last player to win on tour following a major victory was Tiger Woods in 2006. Despite being the heavy favorite, Scheffler is the book's biggest liability as he leads the field in both total bets (18.3 percent) and money (21.2 percent) backing him to win. —Xander Schauffele (+1200) finished eighth at the Masters despite failing to break 70 in any round. It was his third consecutive top-10 finish. Schauffele's odds have lengthened a bit since opening at +1000, but he is BetMGM's third biggest liability with 8.2 percent of the money backing him. —Ludvig Aberg (+1400) is coming off a solo second place in his Masters debut. He is second only to Scheffler with 9.4 percent of the money backing him since the young Swede opened at +1200. —Rory McIlroy (+1400) hasn't been in great form as of late, but did post a solo third two weeks ago at the Valero Texas Open. —Tommy Fleetwood (+1800) quietly tied for third at Augusta after a T7 in Texas. —Matt Fitzpatrick (+2500) finished fifth at the Players, T10 at the Valero Texas Open and was in contention before settling for T22 at the Masters in his past three starts. —Max Homa (+2500) finished T3 after shooting 73-73 over the weekend at Augusta, but missed the cut here last year. —Jordan Spieth (+2800) missed the cut at the Masters but won this event in 2022 and lost in a playoff last year. —Cameron Young (+2800) is still seeking that elusive maiden PGA Tour victory. He posted a solid T9 at Augusta and tied for third here two years ago. The same odds at DraftKings have seen Young second to Scheffler with 8 percent of the money backing him. NOTES —This is the fifth of eight signature events in 2024, featuring a $20 million purse along with 700 FedEx Cup points for the winner. —Fifty-four players in the field competed in the Masters last week, including all five players who finished tied for third or better. Five players are competing in their first signature event of the year: Erik Barnes, Brice Garnett, Chandler Phillips and Alejandro Tosti via the Aon Swing 5 standings along with sponsor exemption Kevin Kisner. Victor Perez was bumped from the Aon Swing 5 when Erik van Rooyen finished T55 at the Masters. That pushed Thomas Detry from the Aon Next 10 to the Aon Swing 5 and Perez out of this week's field. —Five-time champion Davis Love III holds the tournament record with 33 career starts. —World No. 6 Viktor Hovland withdrew after missing the cut at the Masters. —Field Level Media Relatedbest online betting sitesnewly launched sportsbookslive betting appin play bettingwatch live sportin game cash out

Neymar believes Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has the quality to play for Barcelona.
Reports in Spain on Monday suggested Barca were eyeing a potential move for Coutinho, who has become one of Liverpool s most prized assets since joining from Inter in January 2013.
The 23-year-old has been one of his team s more impressive performers in a disappointing start to the Premier League season, and Barca man Neymar feels his fellow Brazilian has all the attributes to follow Luis Suarez in swapping Anfield for Camp Nou.

Olivier Giroud has taken his game to another level since arriving at Arsenal, according to Arsene Wenger.
Arsene Wenger believes Olivier Giroud has made big improvements since arriving at Arsenal after the striker s double knocked Middlesbrough out of the FA Cup on Sunday.
The France international initially struggled to make an impact after joining the club from Montpellier in June 2012, but Wenger kept faith with the 28-year-old.
Giroud suffered a setback when he broke his left tibia against Everton in August, but he has hit the goal trail since returning and took his tally for the season to 10 by scoring twice in as many minutes in a 2-0 fifth-round win over Boro.
The frontman rounded off a lovely move to open the scoring and some quick thinking th…
Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford s penalty debate during the game against Wolves was like a tombola , according to former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.
Pogba and Rashford had a lengthy discussion over who should take a spot-kick – won by the France midfielder following a foul by Conor Coady – at Molineux on Monday.
Rashford scored from the spot in United s win over Chelsea on the opening weekend but on this occasion the England striker threw the ball to Pogba.
Rui Patricio duly saved Pogba s effort and the World Cup winner has now missed four Premier League penalties since the start of the 2018-19 season.
Neville, in an appearance as a pundit on Sky Sports, was furious about the impromptu consultation between Pogba, Rashford, Daniel Jame…

Ethiopia will look to book their spot in the FIFA World Cup qualifying play-offs when they face South Africa at home on Sunday.
The unbeaten side will win the Group A in the CAF qualifying section if they beat their opponents in Addis Ababa but, with South Africa poised just two points behind them, victory will not come easily.
Ethiopia come into the game on the back of an impressive run of form in qualifying after winning their last three fixtures.
However, South Africa have also not been beaten so far and enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Central African Republic last week.

that Liverpool are keeping close tabs on Twente striker Luc Castaignos as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Brendan Rodgers has one of the best attacking partnerships at his disposal, but he clearly lacks cover for the likes of Suarez and Sturridge.
It is for that reason that the Reds boss is considering a January move for Twente starlet Luc Castaignos.
Liverpool missed out on the Dutch forward in the summer of 2011, when he opted to sign for Inter Milan, but the youngster quickly returned to Eredivisie following a disappointing spell at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Castaignos has since kick-started his career with the Tukkers, scoring 21 goals in 53 league matches, and is now being tipped to leave his current employers for greener pastures.

According to Tuttosport, Inter Milan could turn their attention towards Ilkay Gundogan if they re unable to land their main target Luka Modric. The Croatian midfielder has been linked with Inter for quite some time now, although Real Madrid made it pretty clear that it would take an extraordinary offer to lure him away from the Bernabeu.
Gundogan, on the other hand, could be available for around €40 million if Inter commits to the idea of bringing him to the San Siro. The 27-year-old would be viewed as someone who could add some consistency in the middle of the park for the Italian club, as they prepare to return to the UEFA Champions League after sealing their place in the competition last season.
Gundogan has been with City since 2016 when he made the jump over from…
Newcastle United have the signing of Fabian Schär from Deportivo La Coruna.
The defender goes to the North-East of England having signed an initial three-year deal and becomes the Magpies fourth addition this season, following permanent deals for goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and midfielder Ki Sung-yeung, as well as the arrival of Chelsea attacker Kenedy on loan.
Schär only arrived to Deportivo last summer and made 27 appearances for them during 2017/18, scoring two goals along the way. Before that, he had spells with Swiss clubs Wil (three years) and Basel (also three years), and German outfit Hoffenheim (two years). He s been capped 42 times for Switzerland so far, and he caught the eye of several suitors with good performances at the World Cup.

Gary Neville expects Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov to play a crucial role in his side s push for Premier League and Champions League glory after the Bulgarian scored twice in the champions 4-0 win at Bolton.
With England forward Wayne Rooney rested for Saturday s trip to the Reebok Stadium to allow him time to recover from a bruised foot, Berbatov was drafted in as United s lone attacker and responded with a superb display.
Berbatov has rarely hit peak form since his 30.75 million pounds switch from Tottenham in August 2008, but he is beginning to look the part at last and scored twice in a league game for the first time since his move.
Berbatov s lacklustre contribution has often been derided, but now it appears United s fans are starting to unders…
Massimiliano Allegri became the 16th coaching change of the season in Serie A s 20-team league as he was fired by minnows Cagliari on Tuesday only two months after he had been voted coach of the 2008/09 season by his peers.
Allegri has been replaced by youth team coach Giorgio Melis.

But they had not won in their last nine games and Cagliari released a brief st…
